In this first volume of the three
volume set of Spurgeon's sermons on the
passion and death of our Lord, Spurgeon
takes the reader to Gethsemane, to
remind us of the matchless love of
Jesus,.." that for your sakes and mine
he would not merely suffer in body, but
consented to bear the horror of being
accounted a sinner, and coming under
the wrath of God because of our sins:
though it cost him suffering unto death
and sore amazement... Can we not
cheerfully endure persecution for his
sake? Can we not labour earnestly for
him?. I charge you by Gethsemane, my
brethren, if you have a part and lot in
the passion of your Saviour, love him
much who loved you so immeasurably, and
spend and be spent for him."
